Resident Jean-Noel Gilbert has been doing
some research about blowers that can be installed in our gas fireplaces to
enhance their heating efficiency.
Here is his message:
I have shopped around trying to get a better price
than Harding Fire Place in Carp (original installer) for the purchase of an
acceptable blower for the type of Napoleon Fire Place (Model Number BGD36NTR)
installed in our condos.
Harding prices are:
$285 plus tax for the blower
$149.95 plus tax for the installation
The best price for an acceptable and reliable product
was found at
Romantic Fireplaces & BBQ’s Inc
5929 Boul Jeanne D’Arc
Orleans ON K1C 6V8
Tel: 613-834-1777
I paid $269.51 for a Rotom HB-RB58 Napoleon GZ 550
Blower, tax included (discounted $26.50).
If we get a minimum of 20 people, the price would go
down to $210 plus tax.
I installed it myself using the instructions in
“Chapter 8.0 - Optional Blower Installation” of the Fireplace Booklet given
when I moved in. Self-installation takes less than an hour when doing it for
the first time.
You can get it installed by Romantic for $150 plus tax
($169.50), which includes complete maintenance of the unit. They would be ready
to bring the price down to $100 (installation & maintenance), if the
numbers are closer to 20 people.
Merci Jean-noël pour la recherche et le partege de l'information. C'est super intéressant surtout sachant que le magasinage a déja éte fait!
